LinkedIn Auto Invitation Accepter

PhantomBuster’s LinkedIn Search to Lead Outreach Automation extracts leads from LinkedIn people search results and automates outreach messages. Follow these steps to set up the workflow for effective lead generation.

• Input requirements: Provide LinkedIn people search URLs. Google Sheets must be shared with "Anyone with the link," and CSV uploads are available on paid plans only. Use the Sales Navigator specific workflow for Sales Navigator URLs.

• Safety limits: LinkedIn limits invitations to approximately 100 per week. The default Automation setting is 20 invites per working day to stay within safe limits.

• Free plan limitations: CSV exports are limited to the first 10 rows, and CSV uploads as inputs are not supported.

• Email capability: This Automation does not collect verified professional emails; use the LinkedIn Profile Scraper Automation for that purpose.

1. Connect your LinkedIn account: Install the PhantomBuster browser extension (Chrome or Firefox) and connect your LinkedIn session in one click. If using another browser, manually retrieve your session cookie as instructed.

   Keep your browser up to date to prevent session cookies from expiring quickly.

2. Provide LinkedIn people search inputs: Choose to enter a single search URL, a Google Sheet with search URLs, or upload a publicly accessible CSV (paid plans only).

3. Set extraction, invite limits, and timing: In Advanced settings, set the number of profiles to extract, daily invite limits (default 20), and choose between weekday or random sending schedules.

   Only two scheduling modes are available; custom launch schedules are not supported for this workflow.

4. Customize the connection request (optional): Add a personalized message to invites within LinkedIn’s character limits. Use placeholder tags if needed.

   Free LinkedIn accounts are limited to 200 characters and 5 personalized invites/month (Premium allows 300 characters). Emojis and hyperlinks are not supported.

5. Write and schedule follow-up messages: Create up to three follow-up messages, set delays, and attach files if needed. Follow-ups send only if the lead accepts the connection and does not reply.

   Follow-ups are mandatory in this workflow; use the "LinkedIn Search to Lead Connection" workflow if you do not want to send follow-ups. Maximum attachment size is 20 MB.

6. Adjust optional advanced run settings (optional): Fine-tune advanced options like execution limits, retries, notifications, or proxies in Advanced settings if needed.

   Defaults are optimized; change advanced settings only if a guide instructs you to.

7. Launch and monitor results: Start the Automation using the ON/OFF switch. Leads are collected and invites sent according to your settings. Track results in the Dashboard.

   Invitations are not sent immediately; the Automation first collects leads, then sends invites based on your daily limit. Do not update inputs while the Automation is running.

This section allows you to automatically greet your prospective connections in a personal way with a message of up to 1000 characters.

Write the message of your choice and customize it with variable placeholder tags. For this, you can use any column in your input or output spreadsheet by placing it between #s. For example:

Hey #firstName#, let's connect!

For simplicity, we have also added the available placeholder tags underneath the text box. Just click on the one you want to use and it will be added to your text.

Take note: These tags are case-sensitive, so make sure to write them out correctly!

You can attach a file to your message, such as a proposal, white paper, a CV, or a job description. The maximum file size is 20 MB.

Automation always produces better results in the long run. Set the Phantom to launch repeatedly and get results while you're away!

This Phantom runs from the cloud, which means you don't even need to have your browser open or computer on for these launches to happen.
